Our extended summer and fact that the local kayak manufacturer (Seaward) is moving to Vancouver Island prompted me to purchase my first kayak late in the summer. With fall and winter approaching I expect to be paddling our inland lakes until mid November and hopefully a few weekend trips to Vancouver to paddle in the warmer coastal climate. This prompts me to ask two questions. 1. What is the current thinking regarding clothing for cold water (and air) paddling. So far I have got by with shorts T shirt and sandals but that will not last for long. 2. Kayaks are a very desirable commodity in Vancouver. How does one secure a kayak to the roof of a pickup truck in the big smoke while sleeping soundly at night ? grant Grant A.
